What's the big difference between 32-bit processors and 64-bit processors?
A 64-bit machine can address more than 4 GB of memory without funky segmented addressing kludges. This has applications in scientific simulation and database managers.
A 64-bit machine can also handle 64-bit integers as a native data type. This is important for encryption, number theory, financial applications dealing with money over $40 million, etc.
What part of "they don't know they're pirating" didn't you understand? How do you suggest that a songwriter prevent himself from stealing another songwriter's song?
any live band who has songwriters outside the band (aside from the occasional cover) should only be seen at weddings or graduations.
It's possible to having songwriters outside the band without knowing it, if the songwriters inside the band unconsciously plagiarize a popular song. So how can a live band prevent itself from inadvertently having songwriters outside the band?
Yes there is. If you're not an established label, how are you going to survive lawsuits from songwriters who claim that your recording artists plagiarized their songs?
1 lawsuit from a songwriter whose publisher convinces a judge that your band stole his song = -$500,000. Even musicians aren't allowed to pirate, even if they don't know they're pirating.
Performing musicians sign contracts with record labels because the musicians do not understand the contracts. Musicians sign contracts that they do not understand because the A&R agent makes a limited time offer that expires once the agent walks out the door. Thus, if the musicians go to an attorney to have the contract explained, the offer will expire.
In the United States, the option of seeing a live musical performance in an establishment that serves more alcoholic beverages than food is available only to those people who have lived outside a womb for at least 662,774,400 seconds. Virtually no high school student qualifies, and neither do more than half of all undergraduate college students.
What do you recommend for those people who aren't 21 yet?
And how much do those live bands have to pay their songwriters?
No, you can't use a 65c816 to run Atari 2600 programs natively. Because its graphics system is so dang underpowered, an Atari 2600 program must use the undocumented instructions of the 6502 that were removed to make room for the new instructions of the 65c02 and 65c816.
In that sense an FPGA is no less serial on FFTs than a CPU, right?
Sure, you have to clock the FFT data into the internal memory of both an FPGA and a CPU. However, on an FPGA, unlike on a CPU, you can make as many multiply-accumulate units as you want up to the size of the FPGA, all operating in parallel. Large n-point FFTs can be parallelized with up to n multipliers.
C64 used 6510. The C-1 uses a 65c816 and the 6510 special features are cored into the FPGA (I think)
The problem here is that the C64's 6510 processor had the full set of 6502 instructions, including the undocumentedones. Lots of programs, especially games, used the undocumented instructions. The 65C816, on the other hand, doesn't have the 6502's undocumented instructions, and it would be da*n near impossible to put those instructions in an FPGA without putting the whole 6502 core there as well.
If the file is legally obtained say self-produced then the original artist (you) will have a very clear case for copyright infringement.
A recording is distinct from its underlying musical work. If you self-produced the recording, then who wrote the song? If you claim to have written the song yourself, how do you know you didn't unconsciously copy it from somebody else's copyrighted work?
So they have just violated Federal Copyright law by clandestinely adding a digital fingerprint.
And you have just violated Federal Copyright law by recording somebody else's song.
Did you have to blow on your Pentium II or early Celeron back when they were in cartridge packaging? No. I typically don't have to blow on Nintendo Game Paks either because I just take a cotton swab, dip one end into running alcohol, run it over both sides of the edge connector, and then use the other end of the swab to dry the connector. That's the essence of what the official Nintendo cleaning kits do.
Can you come up with some pseudo-Seuss for...

Wouldn't it make more sense to put that 64 on the server, with XXGB of RAM, and push the display to the clients?
Not if there's a dial-up link between the server and client.
Not if the application is movie editing. 640x480 pixels x 24fps x 24-bit color = too big for even 100Mbps Ethernet.

So don't steal songs!
What part of "they don't know they're pirating" didn't you understand? How do you suggest that a songwriter prevent himself from stealing another songwriter's song?
Don't plagiarize.
OK, so what's your foolproof method to avoid plagiarizing?
I hardly think borrowing a chord progression or snippet of melody counts as copyright infringement
The case I refer to is Bright Tunes Music v. Harrisongs Music . George Harrison lost over copying eight notes. This and other music copyright infringement cases can be found at Columbia Law Library.

A fake id
The law punishes those who use fraudulent IDs even worse than it punishes small-scale copyright infringers.
A lot of [bar bands] write their own music.
How can a songwriter make sure that he's writing his own songs and not unconsciously plagiarizing somebody else's?
There's no law against starting your own label
Yes there is. If you're not an established label, how are you going to survive lawsuits from songwriters who claim that your recording artists plagiarized their songs?
The collective would need to release music digitally for a reasonable fee.
Such "reasonable fee" would need to include at least eight cents per track to pay the songwriter, correct?
1 album @ $7.00 x 500000 downloads = $3,500,000
1 lawsuit from a songwriter whose publisher convinces a judge that your band stole his song = -$500,000. Even musicians aren't allowed to pirate, even if they don't know they're pirating.
then why are musicians so eager to sign?
Performing musicians sign contracts with record labels because the musicians do not understand the contracts. Musicians sign contracts that they do not understand because the A&R agent makes a limited time offer that expires once the agent walks out the door. Thus, if the musicians go to an attorney to have the contract explained, the offer will expire.

Wrong color. The BSOD uses background color #0000AA (text mode color #1) by default, while about:mozilla uses #000080 (a bit darker).

Until there is a display technology available that doesn't have this [eyestrain] problem
The future is now. Here's how LCDs work.
To skip the PG boilerplate, search for the text END*THE SMALL, capitalized and punctuated exactly so.
Edge connectors are tried an tested reliable technology.
Then why not do as Nintendo has done for years and put expansion boards in plastic packages?
This is, incidentally, a similar issue that I have with most copy-control software, that has no provisions at all for the expiration of copyright.
You will expire before copyrights do.
